Brown v. State of Arizona, No. 20-15568 (9th Cir.)

Mackenzie Brown was assaulted at her college by a fellow student who had previously assaulted two other classmates. The school knew this, and not only took no disciplinary action, but let his football give him permission to move off campus—a privilege reserved for students with good behavior. Then, it disclaimed responsibility for Mackenzie’s assault because it happened off-campus. With Public Justice, All Rise has filed an en banc petition to ensure schools cannot endanger students by pushing threats off-campus.
